Underrated bands of the 80s/90s thread...

The great thing about Sirius/XM radio are the stations that play groups you never hear on FM radio. I listen to channel 33 a good hit and am constantly rediscovering groups I remember but was too young in the 80s to look past their one hit.

Oingo Boingo - don't laugh but they're a pretty good band. I only knew Weird Science but have heard a few very catchy songs of theirs on First Wave. Songs like "Stay" and "Just Another Day" and "Dead Man's Party" is good stuff.

Toto - can't believe I almost forgot about them. Quote possibly the most underrated band to come out of the 80s/90s. Incredibly talented and underappreciated musically not to mention great singing and songwriting.

I'll take a little country detour on my next one. Although I've never been a huge country music fan I do appreciate old school country as well as a lot of the good 80s/90s stuff from that genre. One very good overshadowed artist from that genre was:

Keith Whitley - Listening to his music in light of the knowledge of his battle with depression/alchoholism and tragic premature death is very moving. RIP Keith.....I'm no stranger to the rain. I'm a friend of thunder, friend is it any wonder lightning strikes me.............
